Situated in the old Walton Hall estate, this is generally regarded as the premier
municipal course in the north of England. It began with nine holes in 1971, was extended
and redesigned six years later by Dave Thomas and Peter Allis, and is now a championship
standard 6800 yards with 3 par 3's over 200 yards long.
In a picturesque parkland setting, with fine views from the 13th tee, it boasts many
mature trees and a lot of water which comes in to play on seven of the holes. The
course was featured in the BBC Golf Magazine article "The Best Courses in Britain
for under aTenner a Round", Summer 1994.
The clubhouse and professional’s shop are located in the converted stables of Walton
Hall itself, which also features a heritage centre, together with top class conference
facilities, gardens, mini-zoo, children’s play area, bowling green, crazy golf and
pitch & putt.
The course can be busy at weekends when tee times need to be booked
in advance.
